Guest Reviews
- Luke (7/5): Very nice motel - Lovely place, good size TV, clean, nice room, comfy bed, great fridge, easy check in process, I really like this motel and town. The blinds let in a lot of light, (the outside lights are on pm) and some noise, you can actually see through them a little, it is a comfort, privacy and security issue. Very hard to relax and get a good night's sleep.
I have travelled constantly for the past 18 months and if this place had curtains, it would be the best motel I have ever stayed in.

- Bob Linaker (7/5): A reasonable choice. - This is a typical small-town motel. Importantly, our room had a comfortable bed and the bathroom worked well. We were on the upper level which was OK for us. There were plenty of parking places, but we didn't get one close to our room. The table and chairs were old, and one chair was about to fall apart.
- Rhonda (8/5): Casual road side Hotel close to an event. - Grat location if going to Anita's Theatre. 5 min walk. Pleased that they have new blinds (last time we stayed they were all broken). But still could use curtains as they don't turn off the external lighting all night.
- Heather (8/5): Clean comfortable great position for restaurants and the theatre. - It’s walking distance to restaurants and the theatre we’re going to.
- Johanna (5/5): Stay was fine. The place needs some love. - Great location. Very dated.
Toilet leaked all night.
Hardly any hot water for showers.
- Mark (7/5): - Value for money. Mini kitchenette. Easy access, no frills Noise from the street. With the wind, the door would move, I had to jam a towel into the door.
- Jennifer (8/5): - Love the location. Basic but super clean and comfy. Light breakfast provided. Check in via SMS seamless NA
- Sandra (8/5): -
- Kerry (6/5): Convenient and comfortable - Comfortable bed. Under the comfortable bed hadn’t been cleaned in a while.
- Marie (8/5): Perfect for all our needs - The very comfortable bed Notthing to think off
- John (8/5): Great value for money. Would stay again.. - Perfect for our night away from home Large living area and comfy bed.
- Rhonda (7/5): - The location was great because we went to an event at Anita’s Theatre.
- linda (9/5): - it was a good location from Anita's theatre lots of shops close nothing
- Kathryn (8/5): Great for what we needed, a comfortable place to stay overnight. Loved it. - Nothing spectacular about the place but it was clean, convenient and had all we needed for an overnight stay. And no fuss. It was plain. But please do not change a thing, especially the price.
- max (9/5): - bed was comfy, and the room was nice and peaceful . It was all nice and clean .
Also, the attached restaurant was really great. nothing could have been better
- IBRAHIM (10/5): -
- Susana (10/5): We will return as the location is perfect as there’s restaurant’s close by and the beach is walking distance. - Easy to get to. Instructions received were clear. Property was clean. Room was clean and spacious.
- Lieke (9/5): Lovely motel which is in a great location- now and quiet too. - Love the location and the room layout, it’s spacious and relaxing. Beds are comfy and everything is well set out. Love the bench space, wardrobe, crockery, cutlery etc. The fridge was dragging across the carpet but not a deal breaker.
- Judith (7/5): -
- Kathleen (8/5): -
- Gallagher (8/5): - Spacious room which was cosy, good shower, clean. Noise level from Annie's bistro directly opposite given it was a Sunday evening.
- Mark (10/5): Local, near Thirroul village and services, very comfortable and quirky -
- Elizabeth (8/5): -
- Benjamin Xerxes (9/5): A gem of a motel - Primarily for its location. Always liked staying at this motel for its convenience to shops, beach and restaurants. None
- Annette (7/5): -
- Jeff (7/5): -
- Grace (5/5): -
- Corrina (7/5): - The hotel is in a great spot, right near the beach, Anita's Theatre and several great cafes and pubs. Room was spacious. It was a little noisy
- Cindy (8/5): -
- Murray (10/5): -
- Bernard (8/5): -
- Paul (5/5): Disappointing compared to previous stays - The room (5) looks old w peeling paint in the bathroom and the walls in the bedroom showing age/ wear and tear around the bases . Don’t like the connecting door to the next room even though it was locked the noise traveled easily through. I’ve stayed here many times and loved it . Room 5 is not up to s scratch with the other rooms - very disappointing to be honest especially when the price was a lot higher than what I normally pay. May have to reconsider may patronage to be honest
- Paul (7/5): Great location, perfect for a short beach stay. - The Motel has a great "old feel" charm. The building from the outside is in original condition i.e. the era was red brick that hasn't been badly altered. The rooms are in varying states of refurbishment internally, plenty comfortable for our stay. Our bathroom had not been refurbished.
- Sophie (8/5): Great little place that worked perfect for us - Simple room had everything we needed. It was clean and spacious which was perfect for what we needed. Obviously not the hotel's fault but had children running and yelling down the front of the rooms at 7am.
- Guest (10/5): -
- Margaret (5/5): -
- Alexander (7/5): - Great location within walking distance of beach, shops, Anita's Theatre and the beaches hotel. Clean comfortable beds.
- Maria (5/5): -
- Sharon (8/5): good - Proximity to Anitas Theatre. Supply of continental breakfast. Bathrooms urgently need renovation.
- John (9/5): Excellent affordable stay in the heart of thirroul. Highly recommend - Perfectly clean and great location
- Guest (8/5): -
- Gregory (8/5): Very comfortable stay and friendly staff, thank you - Comfortable spacious room, generous snacks, Weetbix etc. Good shower. Nothing apart from the location which isn't your fault! My husband has mobility issues and although the beach is very close he didn't want to cross the main road to get there.
- ian (9/5): Happy - Room spacious and clean. Could probably do with a refurbishment. Needs a refurbishment
- Leona (6/5): Easy check on and out. Right on my route so suited my needs. - Right on my route so very convenient.
- Stacey (6/5): - The main room was furnished lovely and the bed was super comfortable. The walls were super thin, you could hear a lot of outside noise.
There were also a few creepy crawlies in the bathroom.
- Sandra (3/5): We did have a wonderful mini vacation despite the disappointment in the accomodation. - The linen was crisp and white and clean and changed as required Being at the front of the hotel, it was a bit noisey being next door to a restaurant
No outside common area as the room is small can be a bit claustrophobic
It would of been nice to have a outdoor area
The motel is definitely location
We were seeing an event at Anita’s theatre and the yearly art festival was on so a bonus.
It was really nice to know that the beach motel is a Sponcer of the event
We had a wonderful mini vacation
Despite disappointment in the accomodation
It is clean and the location is great
The motel itself is lost in the 70’s with 2026 prices
Bathroom dated and need tlc and we thought the prices were high we have stayed in Sydney cbd for less with more.
Would we stay there again maybe as the location is very central
Thank you
Sandra
- Allen (10/5): My wife myself and son excellent facilities - Well played out
Good Parking facilities N/A
- Terry (8/5): -
- Hemara (10/5): Great stay & will stay here again. - The motel is old however it was clean and well maintained. The room was spacious and had a king size bed plus a single bed. The bed was comfortable and I had a great sleep. There was also plenty of space to put your bags/suitcases. Parking was free and onsite in front of our room. Loved the keypad code entry to your room. Location was on point so close to the main shops, Anita Theatre and beaches. Surrounding suburbs were only minutes away by car. There were also a restaurants/cafe onsite. There was no extra pillows and no soap/niche in the shower for your soap/body wash to place. You had to leave on the floor in the shower. This really is not an issue.
- Holly (7/5): Great location close to shops and restaurants in beautiful Thirroul. - The Thirroul Beach Hotel was in a great location with an easy check in process. The room was clean and comfortable and a good size. There were complimentary cereal and a good size fridge. The shower had poor water pressure and the shower curtain was mouldy. It was otherwise very clean.
- Jodie (8/5): Great for a night or 2 - The bed was extremely comfy which was surprising. No extra pillows or blankets located in the room if needed
- Deb (10/5): -
- Matthew (8/5): Great - How close it was to the venue

- Dawes (7/5): Great location, clean rooms - Room was clean Bathrooms are getting a bit tired

Room was clean and tidy. The room had a smell like people had smoked in the room.
No parking available.
We did not stay the night. We decided to drive home.
- Lee-Anne (6/5): - Very convenient Rooms are quite tired. Broken facilities like bathroom shelves not replaced for eg
- Kimbra (10/5): Great location, cute little motel just looking a bit tired but I’d stay there again - Location was great The bathrooms need a lot of work, dropping taps, shower door falling off, weird sink
- Alison (8/5): Location was great, convenience to pool & beach. Motel is in need of updating! - Location, complimentary items. Easy access using a code, no staff, no check in delays! Bathroom very out dated, a few creepy crawlers, needs pest control.
- Raymond (7/5): -
- Lynne (9/5): -
- John (7/5): -
- Heidi (8/5): - Quaint little 70s motel room. Great location for show at Anita's Theatre. The fly screen on the window was broken and we had noisy neighbours.
- Judith (7/5): Clean, no-frills motel - It was convenient and admin worked fine.
Enjoyed our weetabix. A bit soulless
- Nicole (8/5): Good value for money - Location, parking and having plates and extra cutlery Not much. But old and tired but for the price and time we spent there it was perfect.
- Leonie (9/5): Loved having a short druve to the Sea Cliff Bridge. - Great location. Easy walk to restaurants and cafes. Very large comfortable bed. Beautifully clean.
- Deborah (8/5): -
- Linda (7/5): A good night's stay. - The room was spacious. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. The shower was good. The lights, TV, microwave, fridge, air conditioning, and bathroom fan all worked. It was good to have a kettle, toaster, crockery, and cutlery. We used the small dining table and chairs in the room. Good bench space to prepare breakfast and a great little kitchen sink to wash up the dishes we used. We could not park outside our unit. The entire car park was full of cars. The nearby restaurant patrons parked in the motel parking spaces. The carpet in the unit needs updating.

Plenty of space elsewhere though.
